Arch Linux Powered CachyOS Pulls In THP Shrinker & AMD Cache Optimizer


The Arch Linux based CachyOS Linux distribution has issued its November 2024 media refresh

CachyOS has pulled in the Transparent Hugepages (THP) Shrinker, which is slated for introduction in Linux 6.13. The CachyOS kernel has also back-ported some AMD P-State driver fixes, now opts for automatically disabling the NVIDIA GPU System Processor (GSP) firmware when using the closed-source driver, picking up the Optical-Flow patches for the Proton CachyOS code, and a variety of other improvements. Following the recent CachyOS AutoFDO testing, there is also now a "linux-cachyos-autofdo" package for enabling an experimental AutoFDO-optimized Linux kernel image.
